ISLAMABAD - A huge blaze in a refugee camp housing members of the Rohingya community in Bangladesh last week has left up to 5,000 people homeless, highlighting the miserable conditions the group cont

inues to live in.

In a similar incident in March last year, at least 15 deaths occurred when a blaze ripped through what is described as the world's largest refugee camp. Conditions at such camps are usually squalid, with men, women and children living in ramshackle structures. Of course, the basic problem is the fact that the Rohingya have been uprooted from their homes in Myanmar with"genocidal intent" as described by the UN. The military junta that presently rules Myanmar, as well as the hybrid set-up it overthrew, both did little to protect the Rohingya from deadly violence and in fact in many cases encouraged their persecution.
